I like this setup. As far as "how hot", I imagine him Akiba knows pretty well. They were testing that for a while on several vans. I would think somewhere around 150-175* ambient. Certainly localized hot spots would exist and items could be upwards of that to the touch, but there's pretty fair airflow back there. -craig On Jun 28, 2013, at 11:39 PM, Loren Busch <starwagen@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > RE: Fire Suppression System > > Just got to thinking (always dangerous).
